Steve Perry to Perform in Honolulu June 25!!!!

[journey361]

Ok then, his lasdt live show of any kind was what, 15 18 years ago. So why in the world go to HAW. and sing in a small venue. And he has to know how much he has in the tank. I read Ross V. said he had throat work done. Is he testing it out. So many dam questions, so little answers.

People should not jump to any conclusions at this stage... And trust me, Steve perry should absolutely not be blamed for this unfortunate turn of events.

The original Escape-era lineup doing one more tour would be huge...Could possibly be as big as The Police reunion, but it wouldn't have legs. I really think they'd have to sell out the big summer sheds and then be done with it. That being said, if Perry ever came back into the fold then Smitty would have to be right there by his side.

But do you realize Perry made MILLIONS last year just from the sales of "Revelation?" No amount of money would ever mean enough to bring him back to the stage with that lineup. It would have to be something deeply personal inside of him to resolve something, and I couldn't ever see that happening.

How exactly would Perry have made millions off of Revelation???

When it comes down to it, I think Steve Perry NOT coming back to Journey just makes him an even BIGGER legend. If he did ever return, people would finally leave Journey to rest leaving no more speculation on the table, and at the same time comparing Perry "Now" to the Perry "Then." If Perry never comes back, there will always be that 'hope' or 'debate' that people will take to their graves and that alone will keep SP an even bigger legend than he already is.

I think Neal is on record as saying that Deen is his "drummer for life." For touring only purposes Deen seems to have much more value than Smitty because of his incredible backing vox. Perry and Castronovo could make quite a team!

I've noticed thats what people do best here...jump to conclusions.

It won't be long until death threats start appearing.

The deal was sealed this morning according to the venue. If that's true, Perry is somewhat responsible.

Thanks Andrew. Is there anymore that you can say? Was it really scheduled and then cancelled by SP, or was it never actually scheduled?

Those are not the facts to which I have been informed.

I'd side with the latter over the former. That's all I can say at this point.

So....just so I understand....

It was never scheduled....?

I am not sure Perry would agree to a reunion unless Smitty was there....What am I saying - Perry wouldn't agree to a reunion under any circumstances anyway!

[YoungJRNY]

This is just *SOME* of the disaster that occured from the aftermath of all of this once the Loons were told that the gig was off. Reports have it that the events leading up to this was "frightening."

Thanks for the insight, Andrew...always appreciated!

[Jeremey]

Put it this way Nora - If there was anything "signed" as of this morning, Perry and his people would be culpable for damages for backing out of the show. This is most likely backpedalling by the promoter, who never had a signed agreement to begin with.

[journey361]

I think the bottom line here is fact, not fiction. Rather you want to believe it or not, there is something going on with the great SP. Rather in studio, live, e.t.c., something is afloat.

That's pretty good. I think I even laughed more at this than at the Perry excitement chart.

Hmm...... OK, thanks. It's all very confusing.

That's what I figured.
SMFP is too smart, been in the game a long time, & knows the workings of the Biz.

I can see that.

The venue didn't just come up with dates and times and prices out of the air. Just sayin . . .

Its amazing how you say stuff without really saying anything at all.

[Playitloudforme]

A momentary heartattack.

Gawd.

Hey, Girl....

I know, right...?

As far as I'm concerned, it's another big coverup by the Perry handlers and Perry backs out for now to probably do it another time. So tiring the quashing of leaks everywhere by the Perry camp for something that should be acknowledged re working on the CD and related matters.
